Japan was it's peak economically in the '80s. What was the general consensus about Japan back then?

It would be great to hear from those of you who were around back then to share your memories and thoughts.

Japan's PM during most of the '80s (Nakasone) was buddy-buddy with Ronald Reagan. Nakasone made a racist remark in 1986 and had to apologize.

I already knew some info about Japan during the '80s but it's interesting to learn even more. Apparently, in the '80s, the Imperial Palace in Tokyo was worth more than all of California. That's insane.

30s= Germany is going to takeover the world
60s= USSR is going to takeover the world
80s= Japan is going to takeover the world
2020s= China is going to takeover the world
Well, China is trying to takeover the world.

Anyways, this thread is about 1980s Japan NOT current day China.

70s = non-factor.

80s = The Enemy.   Just watch Rising Sun or Black Rain.

Then the Lost Decades happened, and white people finally felt safe from the yellow menace. 
Rising Sun was released in 1993 - so not the '80s.

However, there was still some residual fear of the Japanese - economically wise - in the early '90s.
